Fantasy sports app startup Bignoggins revealed that it has been acquired by Yahoo. The move was announced on Bignoggin’s site and the company will be rolled into helping Yahoo bolster its Fantasy sports product. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Bignoggin’s founder Jerry Shen touts the move as a “dream come true”. In marking the decision, he poked a bit of fun a Miami Heat star LeBron James’ performance in announcing his move to a new team, using a very entertaining YouTube video:

Shen says that he’s been working for the past several years to build out a great mobile fantasy experience. The company has produced two apps: Fantasy Monster and Draft Monster. The technology behind these apps will be integrated into Yahoo’s offering, but there’s no word about whether the two respective apps will be shuttered.
